Today was the first day back in class for Spring Quarter. We all shared what we did over spring break. I went to Honduras over spring break with Maria and Public Health Brigades to help build latrines for families. It was my second time going, and it was an incredible experience to see the same people from two years ago. I really recommend the experience to anyone. I learned so much from going on my first brigade, and going back for this spring break. We then went over the syllabus and the homework assignments for this quarter. The focus will be on HAP projects. We are also going to be having a couple of site visits this quarter. I am looking forward to going to the LGBT Community Center in Hillcrest and going back to Bayside and Casa de Manana. My group's HAP project is going to be a Walk-a-Thon, and I look forward to working on it with all of my group members. We then received an assignment called "Debunking Ageist Stereotypes and/or Bridging Gaps of Understanding about the Aging Population." We then split off into our HAP groups to work on the project more. I helped with researching prices of snacks, food and designed a prototype for the t-shirt logo as well. We are thinking of making the walk-a-thon more informal than formal, in order to save money and still be able to put on a good event. I am really looking forward to this quarter and learning even more about healthy aging.
